The Quilt…

This is the new love of my life. I mean, there is my husband, of course, oh and my kids, then the Bagettes, then… You get my point. Here she is, the lovely quilt handcrafted by so many amazing ladies…

Detail shots. Most of the Bagettes contributed one or more squares. Ann did the little bags. Frieda did the boat with stars.

Harmony sent the fabric for the backing, the binding and a few of the squares. Thanks Harmony! Margaret did the binding and Kathleen did the quilting…

See the little blue shirt? That represents Bagette Dad. Thanks Ann. And Rachel did the Green Bag Lady.  Carole and Margaret did all the really complicated squares, they are good like that (above the Green Bag Lady). And so much more, that I know I am missing, Alicia cut pieces out of old bags that were well loved in the past…

 Ann did the machine embroidery…it says, "Teresa saves the ocean-one bag at a time." Awwwww.

The 9 squares are from Sara in Knoxville and the lighthouses were from Barbara, Chelsea wished me luck…

 April did the bird, of course…

And, she is packed in my bag, ready to go. It is supposed to be cold on the boat, but I am sure to be toasty underneath all this love… Teresa
